Good win, not a great one, but still showing gradual signs
We should be 4 straight now, but for a bad call we have won 3 of the last 4, and have a nice roll on and slowly creeping up the ladder
Our go forward is getting back to where it was the past couple of years, and from that Orford and Bailey are looking better each week
George Rose was outstanding, to come back from where he was and perform like this is making him 1 of my favourites
I was getting frustrated during the match that all of their tries were awarded straight away, especially the 2nd with the foot close to the line, yet our's were mostly heading upstairs, the biggest joke being Klein on top of the play with a clear view, and not being able to rule on the Matai try
1 thing frustrating me the most this season, is that we don't seem to have the killer instinct that we had in 08, to really put a team away. 2-3 times last night we got out to an 8 pt lead and I was expecting the foot to be on the throat, but we then let them back in
Will move onto a couple of players now we are at the halfway point of the season
Firstly Robbo at Fullback. I personally think he has improved every week, and is more than adequate filling in at fullback. He was great last night making some crucial plays. A lot said he would never be a fullback, has that position changed for many ?
Secondly, Bailey. Another that copped a pounding. I see plenty of good signs in the bloke personally, and think that like Robbo, he has been building. We should definitely be looking to have a runner off his hip because he always pokes the head through and has an arm free, The shame for me is that Matai and Lyon have both been getting injured this season so he has been shuffled out to centre on many occassions
